Don't worry, it's only bad wording :-) What this means is only that indexing is not done in an asynchronous way. So your call to Model#save which triggers an index update won't return until the server has finished adding that record to the index. Other processes will get their own threads on the DRb side, synchronization is done in Ferret's Index class which allows concurrent searches. cheers, Jens -- Jens Krämer webit!
